All
• Solve one-step and two-step problems involving whole numbers and decimals and all four operations, choosing and using appropriate calculation strategies, including calculator use (Y5)
• Represent a puzzle or problem by identifying and recording the information or calculations needed to solve it; find possible solutions and confirm them in the context of the problem (Y5)
• Tabulate systematically the information in a problem or puzzle; identify and record the steps or calculations needed to solve it, using symbols where appropriate; interpret solutions in the original context and check their accuracy (Y6)

Most

• Interpret information from a mathematical representation or context
• Know the meanings of the words term, expression and equation
• Construct and solve simple linear equations with integer coefficients (unknown on one side only) using an appropriate method (e.g. inverse operations)

Some

• Use logical argument to interpret the mathematics in a given context or to establish the truth of a statement
• Recognise that letter symbols play different roles in equations, formulae and functions
• Construct and solve linear equations with integer coefficients (unknown on either or both sides, without and with brackets) using appropriate methods (e.g. inverse operations, transforming both sides in same way)
• Use graphs and set up equations to solve simple problems involving direct proportion
• Substitute integers into simple formulae, including examples that lead to an equation to solve
